That photo’s from WSB coverage a year ago, when a group of local “Rosie the Riveters” appeared at The Mount with stories and songs about their World War II-era exploits. Just got word from one of them, Georgie Bright Kunkel, that a group of Rosies – plus a WAVE – will be at Daystar Retirement Village in Westwood this Thursday, 11:30 am. They’re planning a sing-along of WWII-era songs, according to Georgie, who adds, “The host is the First Thursday Democrats, who meet there every month.”

This should be a fun meeting and I hope to see you there. Lunch is $8.00 and includes coffee and dessert, a real bargain! If you are interested in attending, call Lois Elenich at 932-6088 and let her know by Tuesday. She needs to call the number of attendees in to Daystar on Wednesday morning so that they can be ready for us.

If you are a WWII Woman and want to get together with other women who either were in the service or worked in war industry during WWII, please
contact Georgie at 206-935-8663.

WWII service people and workers are dying by the thousands every year. In just a few years we will all be gone. Well, not me, I intend to live forever! So let’s get together and share.

Sorry, comment time is over.
